BUILD SUCCESSFUL

when i debug them, it won't read the user input for "city" . but when i changed the data type for "age" to string, it will read. how can i kept the data type of age to int with the system reading the user inputs for city ?

Answer 1

As there is still a new line character in the buffer after reading the age, change it to..

System.out.print("Name : ");
String name = in.nextLine();

System.out.print("Age : ");
int age = in.nextInt();
//add
in.nextLine();

System.out.print("City : ");
String city = in.nextLine();
